Interesting mix! :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: Thanks for the leads, AJ. I hadn't been thinking African, but will now look in that direction.
That's true! I should try and channel some of that.... Yeah thanks J Dagger. I think this is 'trying' to be a Pre-Columbian piece but in hand it...
Thanks bosko!
I don't think this is very old, but I wonder if it reminds anyone of any particular cultural context. Clay, likely pit-fired, about 6" tall...
Cool piece, whit. I can see why you get a NWC vibe, but agree that it doesn't actually demonstrate those traditions. 12" wide, and without any...

Hey-a @komokwa, my friend, my buddy, my pal.... I'd love to get your comments on this 11.5" / 29cm carving. Is it raven? If so, could he be...
Maybe a moth? I know that this indigenous culture uses peyote as part of their religious practices, and I think those may be peyote 'buttons' that...
Wow! If you paid $30, and were able to sell them for $700, that'd be a 2333% profit!
I found another one of these Huichol (Wixaritari) 'yarn paintings.' I find them fascinating. This one, sad to say, does not have any sort of...
Great find(s) Komo! Literal finds. I personally love the horned Venezuelan paper-mache ones. Such personality.
